PGE FOUR TIMES EDITORIALS What Education Does Kansas penitentiary has just given diplomas to 31 graduates who had taken a college course in agriculture. Commencement exercises were held in the prison. This is probably the first event of the kiud in the history of the world. The work done by the prisoners was the same as that which the Kansas agricultural college offers to its home correspondence students. One hundred prisoners availad themselves of the chance to study.

The 31 graduates were students in steam and electrical engineering, carpentry, blacksmithing, agriculture and motor engineering. Some of the graduates will not be released from prison for several years, but the state has already found employment for those whose terms have nearly expired. The existence of this unique body of college graduates indicates a pronounced improvement in modem reform work with criminals. Not even the most enthusiastic reformer can prove that education produces good character. But education does create new ambitions in any man.

It proves the futility of crime. It makes a man self-supjwrting and thus removes the temptation to many forms of law breaking. Governments now spend more money on their prisons than on their schools. The success of the Kansas experiment is an instructive exhihition of the eagerness with which even criminals will seize an opportunity to fit themselves for dignified and responsible places in the community. Perhaps some day society will know enough to pay for preventing crime rather than for punishing criminals.

One hundred and fifty bandits, a-raiding bent, constituted the enemy. The same and other papers previously had printed many other similar stories of border depredations and fighting. Well, after the smoke of the fusillade blew away a little military inquiry was made. Now the news stories report that: "Investigation by Capt.

William Kelly, and Lieut. W. A. Rabourg of the Bth cavalry, disclosed that the reports of the presence of bandits probably arose from the fact that three cattlemen leading several horses passed near a Massachusetts outpost. Believing a large party of bandits was in the vicinity, the national guardsmen fired a number of shots, but these largely took effect in clumps of mesquite swaying in the breezes." The reason we refer to the subject is simply to raise the question HOW MUCH OV THK CARPING CRITICISM OP WOOD ROW WILSON'S MEXICAN POLICY TS BASKD ON "FACTS" SUCH AS THK SKNSATIONAL TACOMA PAPER YESTERDAY PRINTED AS The Maud that broke to pieces and moved 1.10 in the mulf of Mexico may have tal.nu Ibi- Ntcp to fool the sharks.

Whatever else may be said of the experiment of the national guard on the Mexican border, it has been well worth the cost for this reason: It has definitely proved that only the hopelessly and criminally dense can wish to continue this sort of "military system." The spectacle has been shameful and humiliating. The only wonder is that the statesmen 01. some unfriendly country do not decide that now is the hour to strike, before the United States awakens from its state of hibernation. The national guard system has convicted itself so clearly that were it not for the sudden, soothing peace interim into which we have again fallen, it would be blewn from the face of the earth by the whirl-wind rush of practical events. The men in the national gufrd are as good material for sol" diers and defenders of their country as any on earth.

"About the table at the end of which sat the woman who kept the boarding house, sat seven men and five women, besides myself. "From the conversation I gathered that two of the men were acrobats in vaudeville, two others dry goods clerks, one a shop clerk, one a book canvasser and whom all the rest movie actor. "Two girls worked in the telephone exchange, one was a private telephone girl, one little white thing, a clerk in the basement of a large department and the niece of the hostess was a checker in a well known 'Bohemian' restaurant. "She was good lookiug in rather a loud way, and kept the table In a roar by her slangy jokes and imitations of the restaurant's Irons. "I felt her eyes on me from the moment I entered, and had an unonifortable feeling she would give a caricature of me the moment she got a chance.

'You'd jns' to have seen waa saying; 'she had one of them evening drosses you have to keep oa with stlrkln' planter and a string of heads, but that didn't keep her from remarking she thought It the height of impudence and vulgarity for Miss Flossie Tolman, of the Polllea, to to wear one like H. "She drew her large, flexible mouth into a supercilious smile, and hitched up the shoulder of her shirtwaist as if to keep a lownecked bodice from slipping off, in perfect imitaion of many society girls' I had known; and she quoted the girl in the restaurant: "You see," she said, "It really does not do for a girl like Flossie Tolman to dress daringly stamps her as unerringly as If she should smoke a cigarette. Only a of our set can do these things and still be a lady." "Give the perfect lady an ash tray, Jules," I said; "she Is burning the new table linen with her coffin nail, and you'll get fined if there is a hole found in It!" 'You see, I was so mad at her turning up her nose at Flossie for doing the same things she did herself that I didn't realize I was speaking so loud, but Just at that minute there was a kind of low place In tha orchestra and she got it.
